Retail, Urgent Care, Micro Hospitals and Beyond: The Evolution, Promise, and Unknowns of Alternative Care Settings In this presentation attendees will learn about the emerging spectrum of alternative care settings and provide a framework for evaluating how development and integration of one or more of them might benefit your organization Brief outline of the presentation: Alternative care access points – such as retail clinics, urgent care centers, freestanding emergency departments, and micro-hospitals - have proliferated, and in many cases thrived, in the current consumer-focused, value-based healthcare environment. Through expanded patient access, greater cost-efficiency of care delivery, and improved convenience and patient satisfaction – these sites can be profitable on a stand-alone basis and, importantly, present a relatively low-cost means of new patient acquisition and the potential for downstream revenue. Evaluating whether development and integration of one or more of these settings might benefit your organization, however, requires a nuanced understanding of the “niche” it fills, the likely rate of acceptance and adoption by the local population, and the business case for each of them. Learning objectives: • Identify and differentiate among these alternative care settings, including patient populations and care needs best served, limitations and potential risks, regulatory and payment considerations, and other factors • Describe the business case for integration of these alternative care settings, including typical direct financial results, as well as broader, organization-level financial implications, such as their potential role in new patient acquisition • Cite examples of hospitals and health systems that have successfully integrated these new care settings and their rationale for doing so • Communicate the potential value of these alternative settings and begin to evaluate the potential fit of various settings into their organization’s overall ambulatory care strategy Target Audience Healthcare Executives This webinar is being presented by Danielle Bangs with Veralon After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar. |
